Natural Gold Palm Sugar in Cambodia

Natural Gold Palm Sugar produces high quality palm sugar in Cambodia. Ket Chet, the dynamic and youthful entrepreneur explained that he selected the Palm Tree as this is also symbol of the country. He works with other small farmers and he said that harvesting the toddy to make the palm sugar is a very risky business. Nevertheless the palm sugar is a very healthy product which can be used by everyone, even those with high sugar levels. It is a natural superfood, has a low glycemic index and can be taken by diabetics. He works with other farmers in a cooperative and together they are able to generate a volume of 40 tons per year which are then distributed to some 85 supermarkets and 25 establishments like restaurants and other food enterprises. At the moment he is running the business and promoting it too. The brand is familiar to consumers who look for organic products. He said as the product becomes better known, investments in storage would be useful and an ongoing advocacy for organic products be done. One of his hopes for the future as a social entrepreneur is to build a social insurance fund for the farmers and workers in this industry so as to provide some social protection and a safety net for farmers and workers. He said the exposure from the GMS Pavilion at Thaifex 2017 was a great help to get to know other potential buyers from other countries. He also would like to get into the export market as he has a good product.
